RECORD COUPON ENVELOPE.

Application filed October 2, 1922. Serial No. 591,734.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Atieus'r E. LINDEN- SCHMIDT, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Fort Thomas, in the county of Campbell andState of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inRecord Coupon Envelopes, of which the following is a. full, clear, andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a construction of duplicateenvelopes especially designed for the holding of interest coupons andthe like, which it is desired to deposit in bank or other collectionagency for collection, and which shallperinit the collectingagency totransmit the coupons as deposited in one envelope while retaining theother envelope, upon which data is made which it is not desired totransmit to the place of payment of the coupons.

It is customary for banks, trust companies and other collecting agenciesto provide coupon envelopes for the use of their depositors when cashingor depositing any Government, municipal or other coupons, and theseenvelopes usually bear the name of the depositary, provide space fordescription of the coupons, number, amount, date when due, where payableand so forth, also a line for the name of the depositor. The envelopeswith coupons enclosed are forwarded to the place of payment by the bank.

A great many of the larger banks and trust companies, in order to givebetter service to their customers, many of whom object to having theirnames sent with coupons, erase the depositors name (if given) and forthe purpose of tracing the coupons (in the event they are returned orlost) keep a coupon record book in which the name of the depositor andother details are entered; these entries are numbered and the numbergiven to the entry is placed on the envelope containing; the coupons.

It is to obviate the necessity for keepingthis coupon record book and topermit the forwarding" of the coupons in the envelope in which they areplaced by the depositor, without any indication of the name of thedepositor, while the bank retains a duplicate envelope containing thesame record and in addition the name of the depositor and any other datawhich it is not desirbale to transmit, that my invention is directed,

and it consists essentially in the employment of two envelopes, the onefitting snugly within the other, both envelopes being ruled and spacedto receive the essential data de sired for transmission, with the insideof the outer envelope carbonized in a zone necessary to make a carbontransfer of this data, while the outer envelope also is additionallyruled and spaced to receive other data, but these portions of the outerenvelope are not carbonized, so that no transfer is made of theadditinal information upon the inner envelope which contains thecoupons.

In the drawings, 1

Figure l is a plan of the outside envelope taken from the frontside.

Figure 2 is a similar view of the inside envelope.

Figure 3 is a viewed from the front torn away bonization.

F or the depositor two envelopes of ordinary construction are provided 1and 2; the outer envelope is of a size to snugly receive the innerenvelope.

The inner envelope is an ordinary envelope with the usual side flap formailing purposes. The outer envelope, however, which is intended forfiling, is preferably open at the end, and the back is al o made ofpaper or cardboard suiliciently stiff to make it adequately rigid forfiling purposes.

Both envelopes on the address side are divided into similar spaces 3 forthe receipt of data required, as number of coupons enclosed. when due,when deposited, where payable, so that when the one envelope is enclosedin the other, these spaces will coincide and this portion of the outerenvelope is carbonized at 6 on. the inside so tl the data made on theouter envelope will be transferred to the face of the inner envelope.

The upper and lower portions 4-, 5, of the address side of the outerenvelope are also provided with spaces for other data, but theseportions are not carbonized so that no transfer of this data is made onthe inner envelope.

It will be the usual custom to furnish the envelopes with the one insidethe other. The depositor making the deposit of coupons at his bank forcollection, fills in the plan of the outer envelope rear with a portionof the to indicate the zone of carinformation required, including hiname and address with a pencil on the outer envelope without removingthe inner envelope,

i i be filed away either alphabetically in the name of the'depositor, bydate,'or'by some filing number, while the innerenvelope carries on its iace all the necessary information "for collection. Thus much time andlabor is saved, the necessity of any coupon record book is obviated andthe name of'the owner of the coupons or other non-essential informationdoes not go to the payer.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

, An enclosure for interest coupons and the like, comprising duplicateenvelopes to be enclosed one within the other, and'means for sealingtheinner envelope with the address side of each envelope d1v ded into linesand spaces for necessary spaces on the outer envelope for additionaldata, with the front portion of the outer envelope provided with a zoneof carbonization, whereby only'i-the necessary information will betransferred to the inner envelope.

address side of each envelope divided into lines and spaces fornecessary information,
